Export Record to PDF

Ok, this is driving me nuts....

Utilizing Access 2007 I have a report that I want to export as a PDF. The report is based on a query that calls for the specific ID number from a form (ID = [Forms]![frmPeerValid]![ID]). Query works fine, and if you open the report it works fine, but when I export the report via a command button on the form, all the records are exported. How do I export to PDF just the record that the individual is on? Code is as follows:

Has anyone ever experienced characters being converted to weird symbols when exporting to pdf?

Using Access 2010, I use a make-table query to generate a table. One of the fields "Notes" occasionally has hard-returns
within the records. I run an update query to replace the hard return with a space:
UPDATE Tablename SET FIELD_NAME = replace([FIELD_NAME], chr(10), chr(32));

and another to shorten "Notes" to 255 characters and add an ellipsis at the end:
UPDATE Tablename SET FIELD_NAME = left([FIELD_NAME],255)&"...";

I use a set of queries to generate several reports based on this table, and a macro to export them all to pdf. When I open
the files in acrobat, the "space" I created in the first update query is converted to this bizarre ?-in-a-box character. I
have tried replacing the chr(32) with "..." and got the same result. I can't publish the report with these unknown
characters, but don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.

I have been reading through all the threads concerning exporting reports from Access 97 to Word and it clearly seems
impossible to export graphics such as boxes. However I have reports where boxes are drawn in particular places depending on
the underlying data and I would like to e-mail them. A few people mentioned the solution of exporting to PDF but in order to
do so I would have to buy the Adobe writer. Before I do so, has anybody actually done this, and does it work OK? At the
other end the recipients would only need to view and print so they could use the free reader.

I have a special problem. I need to export reports to pdf format (which I am doing with either Acrobat 6 prof or the - very
good - Freeware "Freepdf XP"). The report contains hyperlink fields.

originally - and most comfortably - I thought of file server addresses of the type "file://xxx/yyy/123.pdf". (My files are
located on this file server) For some reason, I never found a working syntax for creating a link, that works with Acrobat
reader (7.0.7).

So I thought I have to cope with "http://" type adresses. Now, there is some strange phenomenon. I combine the link from
several parts into a working link. This is working perfectly on table level. Converted into an Access report, the link is
dead. Converting the access report into pdf, links are working again - but not always. Somehow lately, they get corrupted -
i.e. during the conversion, some letters or numbers are added to the original link address - I have no idea, where they come
from.

So finally - I try to play with "xml" export possibilities. Ì have a report based on a filled field in a form. That means,
that the report looks for the contents of that field in this form. I tried to create a makro for export to xml, but there is
a devil`s circle in this:

If I open the report and want to export it to xml, I get a message, that I have to close the report before exporting it.

If I try to select the report and right click for "export", it asks me for the contents of the form field.

If I write a makro,which I open from this form - with the basic commands (1) "select the report xxx" and then (2) use
"export" command, it renders the form useless (i.e. opens the "export to" window) and I get the request for the form field
again.

I do not want to loose my flexible report - form relationsship.

So finally my questions

1) Is there a possibility for pdf export with working links (file server addresses preferred because of system speed)

2) how may I export reports in this configuration to xml - and is it worth it ?? (My reports have a lot of subreports with
special layout - therefore the pdf export on the first hand ...)

I've seen a lot of repeated questions from newbies about exporting to text, but so far I haven't come across a scenario like
mine. Apologies if I've overlooked something.

I'm using Access 2003 and I have a database that contains a record for each article that appeared in a certain newspaper over
the last 30 years (~70,000 records). Each record has a field for year, month, issue, page, title, and text. The text field
contains multiple lines of HTML as well as the text of the article itself -- the program designed for viewing these articles
calls on this field to create an html document that resembles the original newspaper page in the GUI.

What I would like to generate is a separate .TXT file for each article containing just the text of that article and a
filename system that identifies each file by year, month, page, and possibly title (i.e., about 70,000 separate text files).
I'm not sure if I want the title within the document or just in the filename, but I'm assuming that wouldn't be difficult to
change.

In other words, I'm trying to work backwards, reconstructing the text files that the person who made the database probably
has sitting on a disk somewhere (but I don't have access to).

I've read about using the TransferText method, setting up an export spec and looping it in VBA, etc., but the closest
solution appears to be Microsoft's page on exporting records to separate HTML files, which mentions: "You can create a
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program that enumerates through the record set and uses the PRINT statement to
output each record as a separate HTML file." After doing this I guess I would batch convert from HTML to TXT. Unfortunately
I am new to Access and don't know VBA.

I am an Access rookie. I am creating a database to catalog some of my magazines. I have been scanning my magazines to PDFs
and would like to have a database to quickly and easily search the articles. What I am stuck on is how to attach or link the
PDF file to the record. I would prefer a dynamic link where you can open the PDF from within access. Thanks in advance for
your help.

I have a report that, due to the amount of data and layout requirements, is much larger than a legal sheet of paper.
However, I have found if I export the report to PDF it works just fine. My problem is this...It appears the export method I
am using relies on the default printer installed on the machine. This causes a problem because some of my users have a
printer that does not play well with the large report size, and thus splices the report into two pages. Any idea on how I
could force a page size on export? OR is there another way to down-size a report to a printable fashion on a 8x11 sheet of
paper? Like I said, on my machine it exports to PDF fine and prints on an 8x11 sheet. Thanks in advance for your help.

Right now I have a main table in my database where I am trying to export a group of 50 or so records containing about 100
fields each to excel.

The problem is, my current export code creates a whole new excel sheet with new formatting. I would like to instead add my
records to a given worksheet and to have the records start populating at a given row.

An example would be for the data to populate the data sheet "Worksheet 1" at row 11, column A. Any ideas of formatting I
should use to approach this? Or if it is even possible?

I'm very new to Access and I've been tryin whole day to get one page PDFs from my report which contains 531 records. Idea is
to make info cards out of each one row record. I can easily export pdf which contains all records but I can't manage to get
one record to one page pdf.

I think I need some sort of VBA code, but I couldn't get any of those that I found from googling to work.

My database has one table which contains all the records and than I have also made on report from it where one row is roughly
one A4 page.

I have pasted a link below to a database I am working on that tracks contract documents. I am having some trouble trying to
export a report that is emedded in a form using the BrowseTo method (I believe this feature is new in Access 2010 so it may
not work in earlier versions).

Click the "Report Center" tab, then click the "Active Agreements" link on the left side of the page. Select the first option
on the pop-up window ("Select a Category"), click OK, then on the next window select "Category 1" in the drop-down menu and
click OK.

The "rptActiveContractsByLocation" report will load using the BrowseTo method. On the bottom of the report I added a link to
export to PDF. This link uses the DoCmd.OutputTo method and saves a PDF of the report on the user's desktop.

Here is the problem: the PDF report that is generated shows all records; it is not the filtered report that is displayed on
the screen. I would like to have a link or button the user can click if they want to export the exact report displayed on
screen with the filters applied.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the sample database: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/65832352/Exa...Database.accdb

I have a monthly report that I export to PDF. Once exported, I distribute them to my partners. My parntners then review the
graphs on the report, and forward their comments to be inserted into the final meeting reports.

Is it possible to have Access create the report with user input boxes that will be available when opened by my partners in
Adobe Reader?

I would like the partners to be able to input their own notes directly into the provided PDFs without the need for everyone
to have Adobe Acrobat.

I have code that exports the results of a query to CSV file using DoCmd.TransferText. However, since this export file will be
used in an EDI transmission, I also need to prepend header records and append trailer records to the extract.

I have a challenging Access to Excel export problem: I would like to export the results of a query to excel such that each
record is exported to it's own excel workbook, and within each workbook, I would like certain data fields to appear on
different worksheets. I was able to export to unique workbooks with the following code:

I am trying to export a record from an Access form to the workbook in Excel. There is no problem when the workbook is not
open, but I would like to keep on exporting to the workbook when it is open. I can not figure out to do this without Excel
opening a new workbook. Thanks in advance. Here is my code so far:

i want to export records from an sql query to an excel file. i used DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery .
the code is
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Q_3_Monthly_LC", acFormatXLS, txt, False. it is working only for records less than 17000.if
i want to fetch more than 17000 this query fails.

i tried to use this query,'DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , "Q_3_Monthly_LC", txt,True but it fails to execute . i am
using excel 2003. i am trying to solve this past 4 days . its a burden one for me. pls help me on this.
